Sounds like an adjustment issue for your handbrake.

Joe90, thanks for your message. But yes I have done that. But it’s not working as it should be. When I pull the hand-break I can drive forward and backwards, and when I do that while I’m drive than it doesn’t break well 😢😏 |

Do the rear discs go solid when you apply the handbrake (rear wheels off the ground) ?

I had a 55 plate X5 that had new discs & pads & never did have a good handbrake, just one of those things on an X5 I thought.

When you replaced thr rear discs did you check that there was no grease protection on the braking surfaces to prevent corrosion until the disks were fitted to the car. Quite often you have to degrease discs before fitting. |
